宏智禪師廣錄 7.60

7.60

說時不借口。用處不依身。天寒絕飛鳥。潭淨無游鱗。
點活眼著精神。野草閑華自在春。

When speaking, not borrowing a mouth; / When functioning, not relying on a body. / The sky is cold, flying birds vanish; / The pool is pure, no swimming scales. / Dot the living eyes to endow them with spirit: / Wild grass and idle flowers are spring unto themselves.
